Preventable iatrogenic cause of foot-drop in knee injuries with literature review

PurposeCommon peroneal nerve palsy is quite disabling and every effort should be made to prevent its injury during the treatment.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the prospectively collected data of 7 cases of tibial plateau fractures in association with proximal fibula fracture from January 2019 to September 2019 who presented to emergency room of our hospital.ResultsIn addition to fibular neck fracture, the first case had type 6 tibial plateau displaced fracture and the second case had displaced acetabular fracture with instability of knee with tibial tuberosity avulsion. common peroneal nerve palsy developed following application of distal tibial skeletal traction in both the cases. Other 6 such cases remained neurologically intact as traction was not applied to them.ConclusionSuch iatrogenic complication could have been prevented if the injury pattern of "concomitant medial and lateral columns" of the proximal leg is kept in mind by the treating surgeon before applying skeletal traction.     

Cell therapy for osteonecrosis of femoral head and joint preservation

Osteonecrosis of femoral head (ONFH) is a disease of the femoral head and can cause femoral head collapse and arthritis. This can lead to pain and gait disorders. ONFH has various risk factors, it is often progressive, and if untreated results in secondary osteo-arthritis. Biological therapy makes use of bone marrow concentrate, cultured osteoblast and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) obtained from various sources. These are often used in conjunction with core decompression surgery. In this review article, we discuss the current status of cell therapy and its limitations. We also present the future development of biological approach to treat ONFH.     

以胸大肌肱骨止点确定肱骨假体高度的临床体会

目的探讨胸大肌肌腱肱骨止点(pectoralismajor tendon,PMT)上缘作为半肩置换术中假体高度定位参考的临床应用。方法2014年1月至2014年12月间行切开解剖复位钢板内固定的肱骨近端骨折病例12例,男4例,女8例;年龄56~72岁,平均(65.3±5.2)岁。测量PMT上缘到肱骨头最高点的平均距离为(5.21±0.42)cm。2015年1月至2018年12月的38例老年严重肱骨近端骨折行半肩置换的患者,参照PMT上缘到肱骨头最高点的距离5.2 cm确定肱骨假体高度,男7例,女31例;年龄60~82岁,平均(72.0±6.5)岁。术后3个月拍摄双侧肱骨全长X线片并测量长度,比较双侧差异是否有统计学意义。根据对侧肱骨长度(humeruslength,HL),采用HL×0.176计算PMT到肱骨头最高点距离,与(5.21±0.42)cm比较差异是否有统计学意义。结果所有患者均随访3个月,半肩置换侧肱骨全长与对侧肱骨全长分别为(32.41±2.47)cm、(31.93±2.82)cm,比较差异无统计学意义。根据对侧HL×0.176计算PMT到肱骨头最高点距离为(5.61±2.82)cm,与(5.21±0.42)cm比较差异无统计学意义。结论PMT可以作为肱骨假体高度的可靠参照,PMT上缘到肱骨头最高点距离为(5.21±0.42)cm,可以作为参考数值之一。     

髁突颈下部骨折口内入路与颌后入路的临床效果比较

目的:总结髁突颈下部骨折口内入路的治疗体会。方法:回顾2017年10月—2019年6月经手术治疗的髁突颈下部骨折患者17例,其中实验组7例行口内切口内固定,对照组10例行颌后切口内固定,比较2组的手术时间、骨折内固定情况、术后伤口感染率。术后随访3个月,观察开口及咬合功能恢复、术后面部瘢痕、术后面神经损伤情况。结果:实验组平均手术时间2 h,对照组2.5 h。实验组7例均采取单钛板固定,对照组10例均采用双钛板固定。实验组术后2例发生伤口感染,感染率28%;对照组伤口未出现感染。实验组术后常伴开口受限及咬合关系不协调,均需配合颌间牵引1~2周左右,随访3个月开口及咬合功能基本恢复正常。对照组术后开口受限较实验组轻,术后咬合关系基本恢复正常;随访3个月,开口及咬合功能恢复正常。实验组术后面部仅遗留1~2个3 mm左右穿颊小切口,瘢痕不明显;对照组术后于颌后区遗留3 cm左右手术切口,瘢痕较明显。2组均未发现面神经损伤。结论:口内入路髁突颈下部骨折的治疗可以达到与颌后入路相近的疗效,面部遗留瘢痕较轻。但伤口感染风险高,视野及操作空间受限,手术创伤较口外入路大,术后需要配合较长时间颌间牵引,开口及咬合功能恢复时间较长。     

Evaluation of the short-term results of closed reduction and percutaneous K-wires fixation of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF)

PurposeOptimum management of displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures (DIACF) still controversial. Open surgery carries the risk of wound complications, while non-operative management has a high incidence of arthrosis. To avoid these complications, minimally invasive and percutaneous fixation was introduced. The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the short term clinical and radiological outcomes after closed reduction and percutaneous fixation of DIACF using K-wires.Patients and methodsOutcomes of twenty patients were evaluated at the final follow up. A functional assessment using the AOFAS scoring system. Radiological parameters recorded included three angles (Böhler’s, Gissane and posterior facet inclination angles) and three distances (calcaneal length, height and width). Any complications were reported at any follow-up.ResultsThe mean patient’s age was 33 ± 15.2 years, 8 (40%) patients with type II fractures, 10 (50%) patients with type III fractures, and 2 (10%) with type IV fracture according to Sanders classification. After a mean follow-up of 9 months, the mean AOFAS score was 84, excellent in 9 patients (45%), good in 9 (45%), and fair in 2 (10%). At the final follow-up the Böhler’s angle, Gissane angle and PFIA was 25.1° ± (5.2), 119.9° ± (9.4) and 51.7° ± (5.9) respectively and the calcaneal height, length and width was 41.8 mm ± (2.1), 75.1 mm ± (3.01) and 40.9 mm ± (2.6) respectively. We had no cases of deep infection, 20% had significant subtalar arthritis.ConclusionThe closed reduction and percutaneous fixation technique for DIACF management offered acceptable clinical and radiographic outcomes, with fewer complications when compared to other management options.
